DAMAGE FROM BAKBED WIRE
FENCES.

Justice Magic. of the supreme court OF
New jersey, has made a decision on the
subject of barbcd wire fences which will
he of wide interest. 1t appears that one
Hudson had a field incl0sed with a barbed
wire fence, and Mr.. Polak owned a fine
colt which he put to pasture IN a field
adjoining that of Hudson. The colt re-
ceived injuries from the fence which ne
cessitated its being killed, and Polak sued
Hudson for its value.
Judge Mage, in delivering AN opinion
in the case, held as follows:
mo owner Of a field has a right TO erect
any fence without taking into considera
ton the natural habits Of the animals
that are likely to be kept IN the adjoining
field, their habits IN their playiulncss,
their a.srcsition to stray, even their dis
position to break through. and that any
fence which is likely. from the habits OF
the animals, to produce injury to them, is
Illegal, and the person erecting il Is liable
for the damage it does.
II this decision shall be sustained in the
general adjudication OF the subject il will
be greatly detrimental to the barbed wire
fence industry. Ii il said that the barbed
wire manufacturer will interest them.

lr Is gratifying to note a practical rec
o%enition of the theory that the interests of
capital and labor are mutual. The theory
is familiar cnoul h, but it is rare that at
rempt- ARE made to establish il truth in
any definite form. However, such a step
has been taken by the Philadelphia Man
ufacturers' Association and district assem-
bly, No. /, Knights Of Labor. of that city.
Strikes and lockouts having proven TO be
mutually harmful, n plan has been agreed
upon by the two associations for their
avoidance in the future, by a system of
arbitration which recognizes the mutual
rights Of both parties. This is an impor-
tant step and lar better than hal a few
obstinate men ON one side or the other
should have it in their power to check
the wheels Of any industry and bring
heavy losses upon employer and en-

SECRET OF MIND READING.
A Bo-ton Editor Thinks He Has Di.cov-
cred It-He Experiments.

One of the most attentive spectators at
the recent remarkable mind reading per-
formances of Washington Irving Bishop
in this city was Charles IL. Montague.
city editor Of The Globe. Mr.. Montague
is Il gentleman of fine nervous organiza-
ton. and he made up his mind that he
could duplicate Mr.. Bishops perform
ances. He at once began practicing Mr..
Bishops feats, and with such marked
success that on Friday evening he invited
some twenty of his acquaintance to his
room nj Hotel Middlesex to test his pow
crs. Here Mr.. Montague placed himself
in the power of his friends. and under
conditions which rendered collusiom I'M
possible. He successfully performed
every one of the mastery achievements
with which Mr.. Bishop electrified Bos-
ton. \ scarf pin was taken from a gem
tleman and placed in "A match safe s,ls-
pended from the chandelier. Mr.. Mon
taguc was then brought IN from an al
joining room blindfolded. By taking
the hand Of a gentleman. who kept his
mind i%ntently fixed ON the object. Mr..
Montague easily found the pin.
Various agents were selected ON the
assembly. and with every one Mr.. Mon
tague had no difficulty in finding the con-
cealcd objects. llWhcn the unattached
process was tried. articles We're ,scrrtet
about the room by various persons. and
by having the agent hold his hand about
four inches over Mr.. Montague's hand
the latter easily found all the hidden ar,i-
clcs. Mr.. Montague then enacted the
mock murder scene exactly rs Nr.
Bishop does it. While Montague w.i4
blindfuldcd in another room II knifc WAS
produced, "A pret"nse made of stabbing II
lady, and the knife wos then concealed in
tie sleeve of a gentleman. Mr.. Montague
was then led in, still blindfolded. and by
simply clasping the hand of an agent
" hos. mind was fixed ~intently on the
act. lac found the knife and repeated the
feint of stabbing. This operation WAS
followed by the finding of Il spool hidden
in the attic. Mr.. Montague being con
n,Sted with his agent only 10y II piece of
wire.
Then the mind reader asked II lady ~
lectei at random to think intently on the
first note of some piece Of music. lie
then went 10 the piano, and. after Il mo
ment's lingering. played the ancient
song. "Go Tell Rhody.' which the lady
said WIS correct. While blindfolded Mr..
Montague succeeded in four and one
hall minutes in reproducing geometrical
figure drawn by u member OF the party
while he WAS absent from the room.
Many other tar more complicated frat-
Wore successfully performed.
Mi. Montague siys he perform, these
acts through No occult power. but plrcly
by natural agency. He blindfolds him
